iOS 12.1 Beta Supports Face ID in Landscape, Likely for New iPad

The first beta of iOS 12.1 seeded to developers today appears to support Face ID in landscape, likely for a new iPad Pro, according to developer Steve Troughton-Smith.

Face ID has support for landscape orientation (presumably for iPad only), and iOS 12.1 seems to care a lot more about whether an external display is connected (perhaps due to iPad USB-C rumors; it won't have the Lighting HDMI adapter as an intermediary for video-out)

Recent reports have suggested the upcoming iPad Pro redesign will feature smaller bezels, no Home button, Face ID, USB-C instead of Lightning, and a new 18W charger.
